Even though we had to cover most of the kilometers in thick fog again today, the forecast rain largely stayed away, and we even had some sunshine on the final few meters of our high-altitude tour. 😀
The noise, the hustle and bustle, and the anonymity at the Sillianer Hütte were a bit of a culture shock

The route to the Filmoor Hut is quick, even though there were still many meters of elevation gain and several difficult water sources to negotiate on the damp Kuhalm pastures in front of the hut.
The Filmoor Hut is the most rustic and simplest hut on the entire route. It has only 14 beds, and you can

Today, we had a lot of elevation gain and a long stretch with some secured sections using ropes. We were the first to set off from the Hochweißstein Hut – most people were relaxing in the other direction.
A crowning stage in perfect weather. That sums up the tour. Our plan worked: After a few hundred

Today we took it easy. After a steep climb, according to our hiking guide, we reached "a valley with lovely alpine pastures" and "a sparse larch forest that welcomes us." It was beautiful, but we couldn't quite explain the bent, dead larches that had shed their needles prematurely.
We only encountered

In honor of the successful mountaineer Hofrat Eduard Pichl, the hut on the lake, whose reconstruction he had contributed significantly to after the war, was named after him in the 1920s. Unfortunately, Pichl later revealed himself to be a staunch Nazi and anti-Semite, who pushed through the infamous

After a moderate stage with a few meters of elevation gain, we reached the chic Wolayersee Hut by midday. The peaks remained shrouded in fog, so an additional climb would hardly have been worthwhile. Sometimes less is more:
Even without a summit experience, you can spend a wonderful time at Lake Wolayer

Bad weather + a long, muddy, and quite challenging stage today = no problem at all with the best mountain buddy by my side.😃
While other hut bookings on the KHW had already been canceled due to the unstable weather, we continued hiking undeterred. We hadn't yet considered the charming, magical option

Today was a leisurely, short hike that didn't pose any major challenges—except for a few minor rope safety measures. However, there were two chases of a special kind: First, thick clouds flowed over the mountain ridges from the south, but then repeatedly dissolved into a cool nothingness (lucky those

Finally, a few days back in the Alps! We're spending nine days hiking the Carnic High Route. The original plan was to climb the Garnitzenklamm Gorge, but we changed our minds, as my fellow hiker had already completed eight days of long-distance hiking, and two overnight stays in the valley seemed ideal

Before the descent to Sillian, the KHW gave us another true gift at the end: the breathtaking view of the Dolomite peaks, rising like islands from the endless sea of clouds. 😃
We chose the Heimatsteig trail down to the valley – a steep climb, but one that allowed us to quickly conquer the almost 1,400
